Ineersoli,s Apostrophe to whisky.

A few days ago Col Bob Ingersoll sent an old
friend very old jug OF rare whisky. With it
were the following lines in the Coloneps we'll
known chirography
II send you some of the most wonderful whisky
that ever drove the skeleton from feast or
painted landscapes in the brain of man. 1t is the
ngled souls of wheat and corn. In it you will
find the sunshine and the shadow that chased
each other over the billowy fields. the breath of
June the carol of the lark the devs of night
the wealth OF summer and autumn's rich con-
tent, all golden with imprisoned light. Drink it
and you will hear the voice of men and maidens
sing the Harvest Home" mingled with the
laughter of children. Drink it and you will feel
within your blood the startled dawns the
dreamy. tawny dusks of many perfect days.

Raising Peafowls.


The pea hen lays her eggs in the most out-of
the-way place she can find, and If you should
discover her nest do not disturb it NEEDLE
with the eggs Let them alone. and when the
hen has laid her litter out she will set just
any other hen would; and at the end of four
weeks she will probably bring off eood-sized
brood. some of which will probably live to grow
up" For the first fortnight the chicks should
be fed and treated like young turkeys; i. e., if
you can find them, and can get them where you
can treat" for. usually, the hens will not lead
their young the buildings until they
somt weeks old. In that case you will have to
leave them to the tender mercies" of the moth
ers; and perhaps that is just well, for the
pea-hen is "A good mother. and will probably
raise oil of her children that can be raised. The
pea-hen does wean her chicks until they
about six months old; and until they moult, at
eighteen months DID, the males and females
look about alike. Then the male begins to grow
his train, but does not reach his full size and
beauty until the third year
